Hollywood singer-songwriter Holly Riva, aged 21, enthralled Kolkata with a unique performance that was surely a memorable occasion. Holly has had a big influence on the music industry thanks to her distinctive dark pop sound and musical inspirations from Dove Cameron and Billie Eilish. Her accomplishments include being nominated as the youngest attending nominee for the Hollywood Independent Music Awards and winning the coveted USA John Lennon Songwriting Competition. Additionally, her music has appeared on major networks including FOX TV and France 2, as well as prominent shows like The Bachelor and Home and Away.

Holly started her tour of India and the UK in early November to promote her most recent single on BBC TV. In celebration of The Hope Foundation‘s 25 years of devotion to impoverished children, she performed Kolkata’s Nazrul Mancha as part of this tour. Since she was eight years old, Holly has been performing for the foundation’s kids, and she has a strong bond with Kolkata, which she loves and views as her second home.

Holly revealed that her dedication to using music to uplift others is closely linked to her artistic career. Over the years, her lengthy affiliation with The Hope Foundation has expanded. She praised the foundation’s efforts to help homeless kids and mentioned how much it makes her happy to play for them.

Holly is a special and inspirational person because of her commitment to fusing her musical ability with a humanitarian cause. She continues to bridge the gap between her Hollywood beginnings and her strong cultural ties to Kolkata through her music, which promotes optimism and unity.
